Covid-19 May Impact Home Sales

7/26/2020

Home Sales May Drop

​The Covid-19 pandemic has remained a global challenge. It has undoubtedly affected all aspects of life, and for a long time, its impact will be felt. The pandemic has created changes in how people live, work, and go about everything. Unfortunately, the real estate industry also feels the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Home Sales Due To Covid

Life Has Changed

Under normal circumstances, with work and businesses progressing without any inhibition, the real estate benefited greatly from economic growth experienced in all sectors. With companies profiting as planned, and individuals earning a living without challenges, the demand for real estate was steady.

​As more businesses opened, they need buildings. Real estate investors built and sold affordable homes for the working class and high profile individuals. However, Covid-19 altered the trend, and the desires of everyone in the world changed.
​
The onset of Covid-19 affected the desires of individuals and businesses globally. Businesses closed down. People lost their jobs and some lost their homes and are planning to rent. The priority changed to staying safe from the virus. As no cure is in sight for the virus, it becomes a priority to focus on survival for many families. Everyone is cutting down on expenses and spending only on essentials – food, home supplies, and medicine.

It's Bad - But Will Improve

​As the severity of Covid-19 lingers on, the global economy continues to take the hit, and the real estate industry is not exempt. Home sales during this time are unavoidably affected due to the effect of Covid-19 on the more substantial part of the population. Since homes offered for sale are expected to be purchased by the affected people, home sales will continue to be low in demand until the scourge of the Covid-19 pandemic abates.
​
Until life gets normal again and the economy stabilizes, home sales may remain low. However, with the ease of lockdown and the economy gradually picking up, it is expected that home sales will pick up from the low of how the pandemic left it for three consecutive months. 
​The real sector in the United States experienced a 9.7% drop in home sales in May. This is the lowest in the country since October 2010. However, as the Center for Disease Control continues to work hard to contain the spread of the virus and government lifts ban on commercial activities, home sales can increase again.
